development
on
the
Candlestick
Point
State
Recreational
Area
(CPSRA)
windsurfing
resource.
For
the
Executive
Park
project,
direct
wind
impacts,
including
wind
speed
reductions
of
as
much
as
20
percent
would
occur
over
small
areas
near
the
shore
at
the
CPSRA
windsurfing
launch
site;
however,
the
EIR
for
Executive
Park
determined
that
these
direct
impacts
would
be
less
than
significant.”
A
wind
reduction
of
20%
or
more
would
not
occur
over
the
CPSRA
windsurfing
area
as
a
result
of
proposed
Baylands
development
or
cumulative
projects
(see
Draft
EIR
pages
4.M-24
to
4.M-26).
The
greatest
reduction
in
wind
speed
at
any
single
point
in
the
CPSRA
windsurfing
area
that
was
identified
in
the
wind
analysis
is
12%.
Wind
reductions
at
more
than
half
the
locations
would
be
5%
or
less.
The
first
paragraph
in
Section
7.2
on

has
been
revised
to
read
as
follows:
7.2
Principles
of
Sustainable
Community
Development
The
principles
of
sustainable
development
are
predicated
on
a
long-term
vision
and
ethic
of
environmental
stewardship
that
incorporates
environmental,
societal,
and
economic
needs.
Sustainability
is
concerned
with
inter-related
systems
(human
and
societal,
economic,
and
ecological)
and
actions
to
foster
positive
outcomes
by
enhancing
connections
between
those
systems.
Sustainable
development
principles
focus
on
an
envisioned
future
more
than
preservation
of
an
existing
present,
and
can
be
applied
effectively
in
the
Project
Sire,
Site
development
design
phase
to
maximize
positive
outcomes.
Landfill
capacity
and
projected
closing
dates
are
measured
based
on
existing
solid
waste
being
transferred
to
landfills,
projected
growth
within
the
area
generating
solid
waste,
and
projected
solid
waste
diversion
from
landfills.
The
year
2077
is
the
projected
closing
year
for
the
Recology
Hay
Road
landfill
as
cited
by
CalRecycle
based
on
projected
solid
waste
generation
and
available
landfill
capacity.
Solid
waste
management
agencies
maintain
a
20-year
planning
horizon,
providing
a
20-year
lead
time
for
the
establishment
of
needed
facilities.
Thus,
the
60+
years
of
remaining
landfill
capacity
provides
for
adequate
capacity
for
the
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands,
as
well
as
for
establishment
of
new
facilities
and
diversion
programs.
Usage
and
conservation
of
electricity
and
other
utilities
are
